asked on 

TELNET to mail user on Exchange 2010

It must be late in the day.

I need help using telnet to connect to a mail client on exchange and send a test message.

I have an application (TigerPaw) on server1 (AD DC FS DHCP) . It needs to send Pop3 to the server Exchange server to gain aynalitics from our mail campains.
That  is not working, so thay are requireing me to telnet , connect and send a message to prove  the mailserver is allowing pop3 communications.

I set filters in fthe firewalls on both servers with POP wide open (i'll locak it down later).

I can telnet to exchange 110
I cant seem to log in.

what the heck !!!  

Can someone help me out.

This is all on our internal lan. could the network firewall be the problem??

Anyway ... please help

please check the settings from a mail client that can connect to the server, it might be possible they use TLS connection to pop3 which would be port 995.

Protocol: POP3

    Port (TCP/UDP): 110 (TCP)
    Description: Post Office Protocol version 3, enables "standards-based" clients such as Outlook Express or Netscape Communicator to access the e-mail server. As with IMAP4, POP3 runs on top of the IIS Admin Service, and enables client access to the Exchange 2000 information store.

Protocol: POP3/SSL

    Port (TCP/UDP): 995 (TCP)
    Description: POP3 over SSL. To enable POP3 over SSL, you must install a Computer certificate on the Exchange 2000 server.

You sure your machine is not blocking the port by chance with windows firewall ? I would also check to make sure the pop3 service is enabled on the exchange box as by defautl ti is now.

Can you telnet to port 25 ?

Those sessions are case sensitive.
"USER" is not the same as "user"
